Andrew Marr accused of EU bias over Boris Johnson interview

This week Nigel Farage revealed that he had been left ‘worried’ about Boris Johnson’s ability to campaign for Brexit after his ‘slightly shambolic’ North London press conference. While the Ukip leader insists he has since come round to Johnson’s involvement, Mr S wonders what he will make of the Mayor of London’s turn on The Andrew Marr show.

Johnson appeared on the BBC show to put forward the case for leaving the EU. However, what followed was a tense exchange between Johnson and Marr as each tried to set the interview agenda. With Boris keen to speak about the single market and sovereignty, he clashed with Marr when the presenter attempted to change topic:

AM: Let’s move on to tipper trucks just for a second. We need to move on, we’ve got a lot to cover

BJ: Well, I’m going to tell you what I’m going to cover

AM: No, guess what? It’s not the Boris Johnson show, it’s the Andrew Marr show — I get to ask the questions.
